Windows Media Player 9

Dec 17, 2004 4:16AM PST

Oh, whoa is me. I am trying to copy CDs to my computer, but although Windows Media Player (as well as a similiar program I downloaded) recognize the number of tracks, I cannot get the program to copy the files to my computer. Nothing happens when I click "copy." I just tried doing this at work and it's copying to my hard disk as I type with no problem. Any ideas? Let me add that I was able to copy from a CD to the computer with no problem a couple of years ago and haven't made any major changes since then. Thanks!

what your Operating System is.

Also, do you have a CDR drive?

Does the CD drive recognise a blank CD in it when you put one in?

and search for a free "ripper" program that will convert the .wav music to MP3 (and vice-versa) or you'll eat up a hard drive unless you burn it off.
Newer music CD's may have a little copyright feature that won't allow copying straight?
